I'm doing a character analysis presentation and on a poster board and I'm supposed to discuss strong traits of a person I read about in a biography (it's The Color of Water by James McBride in case you were wondering).
I'm supposed to describe a trait, then give a passage from the book that supports the point I just made.
How do I list these passages? If I can remember correctly, it'd be like this:
"At fifty-one she was still slender and pretty, with curly black hair, dark eyes, a large nose, a sparkling smile, and a bowlegged walk you could see a mile off." (McBride 7) %26lt;-- the author's name and the page the passage is found on.
Is this right?
Any help would be really appreciated.
How do I document this text in MLA style? Is this right?
That's correct for the most part, just make sure the period is on the other side of the parenthesis.
"At fifty-one she was still slender and pretty, with curly black hair, dark eyes, a large nose, a sparkling smile, and a bowlegged walk you could see a mile off" (McBride 7).

Try this website. I always use it for MLA citation.
